LNER Azuma on a down train on 11th June 2020 at Temsford
The HSTs are no longer used on the ECML and the Azuma run nearly all mainline trains taking over from the class 91s and mark 4s.. some 91 sets are still in use but, were being sidelined because of virus in 2020/1 with MT trains. The class 700 now run nearly all the local trains. At the start of 2021 the virus is still no better yet. We all hope things will get better as we now we have the 'jab' train sets now stored will come back into use when travel returns. We also hope that steam will be back on ECML soon.
